holger Posted November 16, 2009 at 11:25 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 at 11:25 AM hi, came across that word in this article: 仅仅7岁的刘志贺（音译）每周就要参加两个特长班，学习奥数和英语。 My only suggestion would be a mathematical olympiad. But how can you practice an olympiad. Or is it a discipline in mathematics? obscure calculation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeyah Posted November 16, 2009 at 11:35 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 at 11:35 AM Yes, your guess is correct. It is short for 奥林匹克数学竞赛. I'm not into this stuff, but afaik there are Archimedes maths academies worldwide which recruit young talents.
